ters Commissioner of Public Works

necessary Instrument* erected four six-
post fences, monuments to remind the
Louisville'aqd Nashville that It can
not defy the city of Atlanta or en
croach dn the property of the same.
The move waa made after several
months of. patient watting.
It waa made to protect the Uvea and
rights of Atlanta citizens, i .
The caqse Was the continuous driv
ing across the sidewalk on Hunter
street by wagons getting material from
the Georgia railroad.
The effect Will be to abolish tH#
nuisance and make the railroad com*
to terms.
About two months ago there waa a

forth—on Hunter street there are about
100 yards of sidewalk between Butler
and Piedmont avenue, which la prac
tically useless to pedestrians because
of the traffic which rolls over the stde-
g-alk. Terminating at the street are
eight or. more tracks, where freight
ears - are backed up. Between these
tracks roadways have been constructed
and to reach, them there are alx places
to cross the'sidewalk.' 'The mayor In
formed' the railroad officials that four
of these would have to be closed up.
that two would be allowed to stay open
on Hunter street and one on Butler
street. The railroad paid no attention
and after repeated warnings the work
of fencing off the four driveways was
